by Manager Williams fail, Cleveland will get
the half dozen men she wants for 1888 between
now and Nov. 1. And they will como from the
four, corners Of tho principal country on the
earth. Cleveland Club agents are, In accord;
ance with the base ball policy OF tho survival
Of the flttest, hustling In Canada: tho South:
East, West, Northwest and everywhere else, Il
there are any ball players everywhere else. II
in luck. Ceyeland will haye about fourteen
worry fine and very energetic ball players In her
blue and white uniform next season. AS many
as possible OF the fourteen will be base rum
ners, batters, and feeders OF tho flrst-class.
One Will be q captain who can direct the teams
work and shoY the men how to take desperate
chanoes Ia Comiskey. All will be temperate.
and II there are any weak batters or base run
ners In the group they will DO pitchers.
Under tho new system OF paying tho visiting
